For years I have been formatting my drive when I feel it needed formatting without the added concern of having to do all this to activate MS Office 2007.
I have the program on my tower.
My name is ————in case you have not been able to work it out by my email address. My address is —————— Australia. My email should be obvious to the unintelligent, but just in case you have not worked it out, here it is——————-

I have NO wish to go through all this again, please do not tell us all you do not go into our personal details or you don’t want them, then if I load a program a few times you refuse to let me use it. I PAID for it and I would like to use it at anytime. But as you don’t get into my computer or anyones computer. Pray tell me HOW DID YOU KNOW I LOADED IT A FEW TIMES? You know how, you get into EVERYONES computers whenever you feel like, try not to tell fibs (LIES)to us we are not that dumb.
And as for this genuine kit I take it, it is only for windows xp OS not for any other like MSOffice 2007. Wish you would state that, wish you would state that.

A great opportunity for folks to validate and use a GENUINE Microsoft product key. WGA prodcut activation and so forth is not a problem for me since I legally own my software.
Any errors or issues with WGA or activation cannot be blamed on the creator of the program, but the little script kiddies that think they are l33t by using pirated software.
I pre-ordered XP, and have been using it since first release. I have never had a problem with WGA or product activation. I reinstall usually about every 6 months out of choice, not necessity, and have never had a problem activating my product either online or by phone.
Microsoft is taking steps to help people to legally own their products, making it easy, and apparently without retribution. Good program, good job. (And yes, I used it)
Ravemanson, the purpose of these reviews is to review a particular application based on it’s merits (or lack of) not go off about silly political or philosophical views.
Ran this program on my legit Windows XP and it gave me the option to change my key… not sure how it would react on a illegitimate version.
ravemanson — Well if I had just bought a new computer from a store and it came with windows, I’d want it to be a legal copy.
Metshrine — Did you try to run it on MCE 2005? Cause that would be ridicilious if its not one of the OS’s supported — seeing how it’s really XP Pro with some goodies added onto it (like the XP Tablet edition).
Um, the people who actually have a pirated copy of XP are usually the ones who don’t want to have a genuine, aren’t they…?
«This tool must be run on a supported version of the Windows XP operating system.»
I guess WinXP MCE 2005 isnt supported. Oh well.
Did I try to run it on MCE? Of course, thats what my message meant heh. MCE 2005 is what I am running!

The best and most cost-effective way for customers to acquire Windows software is preinstalled on a new PC. However, more customers are becoming aware that they are running non-genuine Windows on their PCs. The Get Genuine Kit gives you a cost-effective solution to help them get legal, deepen your customer relationship, and be there as a trusted advisor.
Download: Windows Product Key Update Tool
News source: Bink.nu
How It Works:
Acquire the Get Genuine Kit from an authorized Microsoft® OEM distributor.
Affix, or instruct the end-user to affix, the enclosed certificate of authenticity (COA) label to the PC.
Microsoft recommends, but does not require, that on the end user’s computer system you either:
Run the Windows Product Key Update Tool
Perform a re-install of Windows XP
Perform a clean install of Windows XP
Either you or the end customer must do one of these things in order to receive updates, upgrades, and support services.
The Get Genuine Kit is available from an authorized Microsoft OEM distributor in packs of 1 or 10.
1 license pack contains: 1 COA label, 1 media and 1 end user license agreement (EULA)
10 license pack contains: 10 COA labels,1 media and 1 EULA
10-packs must be used for a single customer and must not be divided among multiple customers.
Bits are similar to full packaged product bits in that they will not wipe clean the hard drive upon installation.
Microsoft provides product support for this Kit. This differs from OEM system builder software which the PC Manufacturer supports.
The license is NOT transferable to another PC.

You’ve installed your OS or entered your product key, but now you want to change it. How do you do it? You can use the Windows Activation Wizard graphical user interface (GUI) or a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) script. The Activation Wizard method is easier, but if you must change the product key for multiple computers, the script method is better.

This should open the Registry Editor.

Question
What should I do if it doesn’t accept the Product Key, even if it is right?

Community Answer
If the product key isn’t working, there is something wrong with the OS. It also might be due to the fact that Windows XP has stopped being supported. You can try updating Windows.

Buy a genuine product key if yours is not genuine.
-
Alternatively rely on the support and specific tools from a 3rd party company that complies with Microsoft policy.
-
To navigate in the registry, click the small ‘+’ buttons left of the words.
Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

This will not work when the installation source and the product key are representative of varying licenses. For example, if the installation CD is a retail license, but the product key is for an OEM license.
-
Never tell anybody your product key.
-
Editing the registry (or any system file) is like surgery: BE CAREFUL! Don’t edit anything except what this article tells you to when you open, ‘Regedit’. Doing so can cause system instability, changes in functionality, or worse, be unable to use Windows altogether.
-
Do not use any product keys that you find on any websites, these could cause you to fail the windows genuine advantage test as those keys are probable already one Microsoft’s product key blacklists. Failing this test loses your operating systems genuineness, restricts updates and displays annoying messages to buy a real product key.
